It's a well-known theory that black dogs are passed up more than any other color at shelters. Many shelter workers believe it's because Hollywood portrays them as the "bad guy" in movies and that they aren't as photogenic as other colors.

First off, that's just stupid. I have a tiny black dog that looks like a mean little ankle-biter but he's truly the sweetest. And my thousands of photos would suggest that he's not only photogenic but downright handsome!

Another black doggo that's drop-dead gorgeous is also adoptable! Her name is Marley and her chocolate eyes and tan highlights offset her sleek black coat. Marley is an almost three-year-old female German Shepherd mix that weighs 67 pounds and has been at WHS since August. Her Petfinder profile says that she's friendly and sweet and good with other dogs.
